ENGLISH:
When you say thank you to me,for some reason it hurts,Like a magic spell that doesn’tget undone even after the good bye.a hint of bitterness.The flavor of life
Stuck midpoint between friends and lovers,like an un-riped fruit dreaming about the day of harvestbecause of being unable to just move one more step forwardwhat’s causing this frustration baby
When you say thank you to me,for some reason it hurts,Like a magic spell that doesn’tget undone even after the good bye.a hint of bitternessThe flavor of life
Sweet talk and tasteless conversations.it sparks no interest in meeven when things do not go the way you wantit doesnt mean you’ve thrown your life away
When asked ‘ whats wrong?’I answer ‘its nothing’The smile that disappears after goodbyeIt’s unlike me
The more i wish to believe in you,For some reason it hurts even more‘i like you a lot’ instead of ‘i love you’ sounds more like youthe flavor of life
the period when you suddenly remember the scent of someone you had almost forgottenI want to be able to openly and honestly cherish the white purity of the falling snow more
A future tender and warmer than a diamondi want to grasp it, in this limited time we have, i want to spend it with you
when you say thank you to me,for some reason it hurts,Like a magic spell that doesntget undone even after the good bye.a hint of bitternessThe flavor of life
